HC Deb 10 April 1963 vol 675 c178W
Mr. Matthews

asked the Minister of Health how many hospital boards have made arrangements for the younger chronic sick to be accommodated in special wards with patients of their own age; and if he will consider the payment of a capitation fee to voluntary homes that provide such accommodation.

Mr. Braine

Eleven. Hospital boards make contractual arrangements with voluntary institutions when they think it desirable.
